"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror..." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders". It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong.
Entrancing, I couldn't stop listening!
Riveting true story. Hard to put down. Lots of research put into the book and in my opinion, from author to narrator well worth a credit. You'll learn along the way too. Recommend.
Aspiring model Sandee Rozzo's big mistake was being kind to Timothy "Tracey" Humphrey. After Rozzo refused the 'roided-up ex-con's advances, she described how he imprisoned, raped, and brutalized her for two days. When the courageous woman pledged to testify against him, Humphrey knew he had to silence her. That's when he turned to 19-year-old Ashley Laney. She had fallen in love with Humphrey, her personal trainer, and would do anything for him. On their wedding night, he made a strange request - one that would end with eight gunshot wounds and a dead body.
Honestly could not get through this book. Narrator is awful. Too bad as I like the author. I would skip this.
This is a well written book, consisting of intriguing stories, insightful review of medical procedures and the choices physicians are forced to make. Having a career in medicine lent me a firsthand look into the world of hospital medicine. The good and the bad, the skills and the pain of choices. This author writes an engaging view and critique of that world. Recommend.
This is an excellent book. Worth a credit, very well written. I understand a second in the series will be coming out soon. Can't wait.
Love Sandra Brown and good story as I have read it in the past. This is almost unbearable to read as there is background music throughout the novel. Totally unnecessary and wrecks any chance of enjoying the story.
What did you love best about Fire and Fury?
As a political junkie, this confirms everything we have heard about 45. Leaving political parties aside, the lack of policy inquisitiveness one would expect is non-existent. The retention on issues is too. The self-obsession is paramount above all else. No one is at home; let's hope we survive this.
What other book might you compare Fire and Fury to and why?
Maybe anything written about a leader who lacked the capacity to govern.
Have you listened to any of Michael Wolff and Holter Graham 's other performances before? How does this one compare?
Nothing by Wolff, and Graham is always great.
Thank you for the ability to purchase right out the gate.
A "HELL YES" FOR WOMEN!
This was my first KA book and I loved it. Highly recommend.
Which character – as performed by Hollis McCarthy – was your favorite?
I recommend most of KA books.
There is a place in modern-day America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition. In this place there is a boy with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He is strong and faithful and serves his family honorably. But he dares to dream of more.
